The meeting was called to order by the Chairman and reading of
the minutes wem waived.
The first item discussed by the Commission was the questionnaire
prepared by the city planner. The reason for this questionnaire
as explained by the planner was to stimulate interest in the
future development of the City of Sanford. This questionnaire
would give the general public a chance to express their views
and ideas so that the planners would have additional information
with which to work. It was decided that within this questionnaire
both multiple choice and essay type questions should be asked
and only a chosen group should at this time be sent this questionnaire
to fill out and then only one questionnaire to a club or group.
Art Harris moved that we prepare fifty (50) questionnaires
and send them to each civic group, labor union, woman's club
and men's groups in each church.
Seconded by Mr. Conklin and carried by a unanimous vote.

Upon completion ofitem number one, the discussion of the Capital
Improvement Program was undertaken and the city manager stressed
to the Board that their additional ideas should be added to the
ones already listed and then when the questionnaire was sent out
and returned the general public ideas would also be added.
Some of the improvements suggested were expansion of the present
water distribution system and additional recreation facilities.
No official action was taken in submitting these to the City
Commission but it was decided to wait until further study and
ideas could be completed.
It was also suggested by Mr. McKibbin that one meeting of the
Z & P be held soley for the purpose of familiarizing the Board
with the drainage plan and paving plans that have already been
drawn up, with the idea of making recommendations as to what
item on the list of capital improvements should be top priority.
It was decided that at the July 31st meeting this should be
undertaken.
Next on the agenda was the question of zoo relocation and a
lengthy discussion was held and action on this matter was deferred
until a later time when studies had been completed. Other groups
are in the process also of studying this relocation.
Height restrictions in the downtown area was next discussed
and after the Building Official had explained the height restriction
in an R -3, C -2 and C -1 zone, Mr. Art Harris :..moved that a recom-
mendation be made to the City Commission that the height restriction
be removed in a C -2 zone, with a second from Mr. Don Bishop, motion
was carried by unanimous vote.
An addendum to the motion was made by Mr. Harris to read that any
building over the 100' restriction should meet all parking reg-
ulations as required in the present zoning regulations. Mr.
Bishop seconded the amendment and voting was again unanimous.
At the last meeting Mr. Tommie Peterson, Chairman of the Scenic
Improvement Board requested a rezoning of the "tank farm" west
of Myrtle Ave. from M -1, Industrial to C -2, Commercial and after
discussion Garnett White moved that a public hearing be held on
this rezoning. Motion was seconded by John Daniels and voting
was unanimous. The public hearing was scheduled for August
